FAQs
What is the shelf life of Metolux 2 Part SF Wood Filler?
When stored correctly in sealed containers in a cool, dry place, the filler typically has a shelf life of at least one year. Refer to the product packaging for specific details.
Can I use this filler on painted wood?
Yes, provided the existing paint is sound and well-adhered. For best results, lightly sand the painted surface before applying the filler.
How long does it take for the filler to cure?
Curing time varies depending on temperature and humidity, but it is generally workable within a few hours and fully cures within 24 hours. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for precise timings.
Is this filler suitable for structural repairs?
Due to its high strength and durability, it is suitable for many structural repairs on wood, but it should not be used as a primary load-bearing component. Always ensure the underlying wood is sound.
Can I mix different colours of Metolux filler to achieve a custom shade?
Yes, the different pre-coloured shades can often be mixed together to achieve a closer match to specific wood tones.
What is the best way to clean up tools after use?
Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with a suitable solvent. Acetone or cellulose thinners are typically effective, but consult the product's technical data sheet for specific recommendations.
Troubleshooting
Filler does not harden or remains soft
Ensure the hardener was mixed in the correct ratio with the filler. Double-check the measuring and mixing process. Storing the components at incorrect temperatures might also affect curing.
Filler shrinks significantly after application
This can occur if the filler was applied too thickly in one go or if the mixing ratio was incorrect. For deep repairs, apply in layers, allowing each layer to partially set before applying the next.
Poor adhesion to the wood surface
Ensure the wood surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose paint. Lightly sanding the surface before application can improve adhesion.
Difficulty in sanding the cured filler
Allow the filler to cure completely before sanding. If it becomes too hard, you may have mixed too much hardener or used an inappropriate grit sandpaper. Start with a coarser grit and finish with a finer one.
